I haven't seen it before now either. Can't see the point of it really. Why does it need the pages to 'flip back' ? I can read an ordinary book using one hand easily (other hand usually has a cup of tea or something in it) and turn the pages too.
Whatever next ? Someone will be writing The Bible or The Koran on a grain of sand before we know it !

From what I've read it means that they can print the books in a smaller format. So they are easier to carry around.

They are for all us non kindle-ers out there who want to carry a library around with us but in paper form :)

I used to have a really small Spanish dictionary.
